Eleven years after becoming the first expansion team in the American League, the Washington Senators left the capital, headed to Texas, and became the Rangers. It wasn't an easy start, with 100 losses picked up in both 72 and 73. The Rangers would bounce back with 74 and 75's records above .500. Titles would take a little longer, with the franchise not picking up a league title until 1996, a first pennant in 2010, and a first World Series victory in 2023. For this week's broadcast, we're returning to that turbulent 1972. Coming off the All-Star break, The Rangers are on the road and facing a doubleheader against the Yankees. With 40 games left in the season, the Rangers are 26 games behind .500, hoping for a streak to help them lift the spirits of its new fanbase. It would be a futile chase. The Yankees' Frank Messer, Bill White, and Phill Rizzuto broadcast team take you through the game.
